This is intended to be no more than a reference site for Jimi Hendrix vinyl. It is not here to direct any listener to any given title though general comments along the lines of "avoid" or "must have" may well appear scattered throughout the site. I'm sure most of you will simply ignore such comments as you will know for yourself just which are the best pressings to listen too or ignore the comments as you are a collector of vinyl though not a listener and have no mind for such opinion.

I'll happily expand on what we have here but I don't have the largest collection of Hendrix vinyl to base this site on so any and all additions are welcome. Pictures to accompany any detail you send would be welcome too or failing that a link as to where I can find a picture to at least reference. If you have anything you feel needs to be added please contact me with the details. Minimum details are Album title, record company, catalogue number, matrix detail [all that appears in the dead wax area from both sides of the record]. Of course any additional information is also welcome by way of pressing plant, year of issue but please support these details if you wish for them to be included. Any comments regard the album, what exactly is in the grooves, would be of use too. As we know, an album may well state mono or stereo and it may be both, one or the other or neither [enhanced from mono] but this detail is not essential. Thanks.

Page one of each listing is a text only page simply to facilitate the stated intention of the site and to ensure updates and corrections can be applied quickly. Picture guidance is to be found on the following pages per subject with basic and brief notes.

As this site does not appear to support Wingdings 3 and thus does not allow certain symbols to be typed or cut and pasted into text we have replaced certain symbols that appear in the matrix [dead wax area] detail. These will be shown in red in all instances and a key map will appear on each page to indicate what the symbols should be. In time I will make a downloadable folder available on request of all the matrix numbers I have gathered together per Hendrix pressing. This will show the symbols as they are.

Even before this site was "up and ready" I have been supported by a few collectors.

The list of those to whom I'm grateful, for various reason, be it in a Hendrix record gifted to me down the years through to securing a record on my behalf or simply for sharing important information, past, present or future is important to me and often the small simple "thank you" often fails to really convey my genuine sincere feelings. The least I can do here is recognise that important part played in the construction of this site and its detail. This list is in no particular order:

It is hard not to want to recognise the difference others have made, the Hendrix community has contributed so often indirectly to the record collection along with this site. Kees De Lange, Barry Gruber, James Phoenix, Chuck White, Johan Van Wieren, Ruud Korts, Rob Smith, Charlie Angel, Mike Parker, Jeff Mason, Don Mc Loughlin, Len Pogost, Gerry Masters, Brian Howell, Raymond Guest, Francesco Pelosi, Paul de Bie, Claus Rasmussen.

Besides the individuals above, the members at the Steve Hoffman forum [http://www.stevehoffman.tv/], the members at Crosstown Torrents [http://crosstowntorrents.org/?styleid=4], the good folk at JPIO [https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/JimiPassItOn/info] and of course the members at the Jimpress forum [http://forum.jimpress.co.uk/] are thanked for their assistance and for sharing their knowledge so readily.
